With season 8 of American Idol set to begin in just a couple of weeks, Simon Cowell has jetted off to Barbados with ex-lover Sinitta for a little pre-show R&R.
The music mogul showed his low-key side as he relaxed on the balcony of his hotel today following an afternoon of jet skiing.
The expense of the luxury holiday is just a drop in the ocean for Simon, who is currently reaping the rewards of this year’s Christmas chart-toppers like his latest British protege, X Factor winner and Hallelujah singer, Alexandra Burke.

What a queen. He is more tweezed and tanned than Ryan Seacrest.
Simon sure likes the sistas.
I dislike this man now, how stupid can you be to give a new artist ‘Hallelujah’ as their first single, or any single. He should be ashamed; they all (contestants) killed that song slowly. It should have remained with Jeff.
Moobs
So he only dates black woman I guess?
I love Alexandra Burke’s rendition of the song precisely because she didn’t try to do a remake like everyone else does. She did it her way using her own strengths and she did it well.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Alexandra I think she has a lot of talent; and hopefully she will become worldwide. But I think that’s a lot of pressure putting that song on her, and it may backfire considering people are downloading the original to beat hers in the charts. I personally prefer Jeff’s version, it has a lot more emotion in it.
What the… am I the only one who hasn’t heard of this Burke person? Is that song playing on radios or something? I feel so left out :o(.
Lol umm here’s a link to her video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bsuXbkrA_AQ
She won X Factor last week, (it’s sort of like a British version of American Idol). We’re just commenting on the winners song that was chosen by Cowell; Jeff Buckleys ‘Hallelujah’.
it’s ok aysla, i hadn’t heard of her either until this post.
as for simon, not terrible, but he could use some toning up.
He is simply the coolest dude. No B.S., very insightful and direct as well as a philanthropist for both human and animal charities. I applaud his massive wealth. Go Simon!
